LS2 manual transmission

Is the T56 (say out of a 2000-2002 camaro) tranny compatible with the LS2 (6.0L) engine? If not, what transmissions am I supposed to be looking at?

Thanks.

Yeah, why wouldn't it be? There is nothing physically different externally on an LS2 from an LS1, and the transmission doesn't care what's in front of it, as long as something is turning it .

If you got a T56 from any '98 - '02 F-body (assuming you're putting an LS2 into an F-body? ) then yeah, it'll work just fine .

The only thing you would need to be "compatible" with the tranny would be the computer, which wouldn't be a problem as long as you have a stock M6 computer, OR have an A4 computer re-flashed as an M6. Although, you don't HAVE TO hook up things like CAGS (skip-shift) or reverse lock-out (although you do want that), but if you ran an A4 computer, the VSS (speed sensor) gives totally the wrong signal, so your speed would be way off. That, and the engines are programmed to run differently depending on what's behind them.
